Octavio Paz
“Progress has peopled history with the marvels and monsters of technology but it has depopulated the life of man. It has given us more things but not more being.”
Octavio Paz, The Labyrinth of Solitude and Other Writings

Carlos Fuentes
“No volverás a mirar tu reloj, ese objeto inservible que mide falsamente un tiempo acordado a la vanidad humana, esas manecillas que marcan tediosamente las largas horas inventadas para engañar el verdadero tiempo, el tiempo que corre con la velocidad insultante, mortal, que ningún reloj puede medir.”
Carlos Fuentes, Aura

Octavio Paz
“To become aware of our history is to become aware of our singularity.”
Octavio Paz, The Labyrinth of Solitude and Other Writings

Carl Sagan
“The world is so exquisite with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there's little good evidence. Far better it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides.”
Carl Sagan

Carlos Fuentes
“Le démon aussi était un ange, avant...”
